[1.14.4] [CIT] Transparent armor on armor stands flickering between opaque and transparent

[TBlazeWarriorT]

Description of Issue

Transparent/translucent armor flickers between opaque and transparent depending on view angle, looks semi-random, should always display transparency properly. Related to https://github.com/sp614x/optifine/issues/3209

Steps to Reproduce

1. Get transparent armor textures. I found this bug using CIT. Example files for testing, if needed:

crystal.properties: crystal.properties blank.png crystal_layer_1.png crystal_layer_2.png (I dyed them to white)

2. Put it in an armor stand.
3. Look at the armor stand from a specific angle. It should render properly only from a specific angle from one of it's side.

OptiFine Version

1.14.4 HD U F5

Installation Method

Installer (standalone)

F3 Debug Screenshots

F3 + transparency working from a specific angle Transparency on player + no armor stand transparency in F5 No transparency in a different first person angle

Prior Testing

• Does this happen in Vanilla without OptiFine? Can't test properly (vanilla has no CIT to test)

Additional Information

• Still happens if using internal or any shaders. Seems to be unrelated to shaders.
• Still happens after toggling settings such as fast render on/off. Seems to be unrelated to settings.
• Does not seem to glitch out when a player is wearing the armor. Seems to be related to armor stands.
• Never renders properly in 3rd person camera. Seems to only go transparent in a specific angle of first person view.

no idea, I migrated to CIT Resewn a few years ago

Nope, it seems fully opaque on the model. Base 1.20.1 Minecraft doesn't seem to support transparent armor, and CIT Resewn does not change it, for better or for worse. OptiFine, CIT Resewn or any other mod would need to and translucency support, then it would probably work. I don't think translucent armor is viable to this day, other than the half-working one described on the original issue several years ago.

You can test it on latest OptiFine to be sure and update the issue with the current status if you'd like, to see if maybe you're really lucky and it magically works

Does not work at all on either CIT Resewn, Optifine or Vanilla
